Connect EtherNet/IP Adapter Devices to BACnet/IP Servers

Connect EtherNet/IP Adapter Devices to BACnet/IP Servers
The 460ECBC moves data between a network of up to 32 BACnet/IP Server devices and an EtherNet/IP network of up to 32 Adapter devices. It’s the perfect tool to tie all of your EtherNet/IP devices in with your BACnet/IP devices.

How Do I Use the 460ECBC in My Application?
Up to 496 bytes of data from your EtherNet/IP Adapters will be mapped to your BACnet/IP Servers as BACnet/IP data. When writing from your BACnet/IP Servers to your EtherNet/IP Adapters, BACnet/IP data will be mapped to up to 32 EtherNet/IP Adapters as EtherNet/IP data.

It’s really that simple. Need to modify your data as it passes from one protocol to the other? No problem. Each data mapping you apply can be modified with up to 3 mathematic functions. Add 4 to a value, multiply by 4 and divide by 10 with ease.

Why Use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?
The 460ECBC provides an option to connect EtherNet/IP Adapter devices to your BACnet/IP network. While there are certainly a number of other companies offering stand alone gateways, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from RTA.

When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations even if that means recommending someone else’s solution. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t require a ticket or 24 hour wait. We are unashamed of the fact that we are a smaller company because that means you mean a lot more to us. Try the RTA difference today.

Testimonial

We provide different PLC platforms depending on customer requirements and I have found the 460MSA and 435NBX gateways from RTA to be user-friendly and have cut down our project configuration time considerably. The web interface saves time in not having to lug a laptop out to the field to make changes and the user manuals are straight forward and informative.
